Tobias clears his throat and speaks âThere are two alphas we answer to. The one who destroyed my pack and the one at Blackwater. We arenât told their names..it is considered disrespect. The older one is the father, though. The son..has only one apparent objective..and that is to locate and recapture a girl he once had custody of. The father wants your Alpha dead. Butâ¦and the son is unaware of thisâ¦he also wants the same girl. He wants to breed her. The guards talk. I canât say my information is accurate..but all the guards seem to hold the same opinions. Around half of them..dislike what we are being ordered to do. In battleâ¦the disgruntled ones try to hold back and not attack..unless in self defense. Other Alphas showed up with their own warriors two days ago. The attack today was to test west border strength. The north border is the next test. They send out the âexpendablesâ on these raids. None of us have any real informationâ¦only gossip and rumors. Those alphas donât care if we dieâ¦they only hope one of us makes it back with useful information. Itâs suicide missions..and most of us donât even care if weâre killed. And you will find that same mentality among half of all the warriors they haveâ
Abraham sits a momentâ¦then he says âWe agree to your conditions. You will take a blood oath with the BlackAlpha nowâ¦then Aaron here will get to release some tension all over your bodyâ¦feel free to try and fight backâ¦heâll like thatâ¦and then you will be dragged..in front of your comradesâ¦to a different cell..where doc will attend your wounds..Tomorrow night..you will âescapeâ.. with your blood oath you will have an established mindlink with BlackAlphaâ¦betray him and your own blood will boil you aliveâ
Renata is getting her nails painted by Becca..and Melody is curling her hair. They have been pampering her for an hour.. Sheâs so excited! She clears her mind and searches for her connection to Orion and whispers âOrion? Can you hear me?â And she hears his chuckle in her mind ðº Yes, mi amor! I hear you! What are you doing? Iâm just heading over to grab my suit for tonight! I canât wait to make you mine in every way! I love you, tiny fairy! And Renata just giggles.. Becca says âno triple X mind linking! We have lots to do!â And the three of them laughed!
Renata headed down to Charlesâ study and knocked on his doorâ¦he bade entry and she stepped in. He looked up and asked âWhy so pensive daughter?â She nervously played with her fingers.. and softly speaks âI know we have only known each other a little over a week..and wellâ¦my parents died when I was tenâ¦so I donât really have a dad..but I was wondering⦠If you couldâ¦Or if you would..or even if you will want to..but.. Would you do me the greatest honor of walking me down the aisle?â
And Charles grinned from ear to ear! He said â One of my greatest regrets in this life..was never being blessed with walking my own daughter down the aisle. You have just granted me my fondest wish! It would be MY honor and my privilegeâ¦to escort you to my son! And to threaten him with bodily harm if he ever makes you cry!â She launched herself into his arms..hugging him and kissing his cheekâ¦she whispered âThank you! You have no idea how happy youâve made me!â And he shooâs her on her wayâ¦so he can decide which suit is suitable for giving his daughter away.
The final preparations are complete. Renata is back in her room..having just lit the trees with fairy lightsâ¦She stands in front of her floor length mirror..twisting side to side..watching the way her gown flows. Itâs a simple gownâ¦Ivory silk..spaghetti straps and backlessâ¦which makes her happy because her wings wonât have to rip through the fabric. She wears a crown of flowers atop her red hair.. her lavender eyes shining..her feet are bareâ¦allowing her the opportunity to commune with the earth when her power is at its peak in the full moon light. The knock at her door alerts her to Charlesâ arrival and she moves to open it. He stands there in a black suitâ¦with an ivory silk shirt and he laughs..saying âKismetâ while lifting the collar of the shirtâ¦.and she giggles as she wraps her hand into the crook of his elbow.
They stand together at the entrance to the garden. Her eyes raise and she spots Orionâ¦smiling at her from the dais under her altar. He is standing proudly..looking like a God in his Ivory shirt..and chinos. He stood barefoot, as well.
She felt her wings flutter and stretch..she arched her back and flexed and felt her wings swell with the moon. By the time she reached Orionâ¦her mark was glowing..her wings were ready for flight..and her eyes were shining lavender as she smiledâ¦The ceremony began
Charles officiated the marriage ceremonyâ¦and as Orion kissed his bride.. Charles said âYou hurt my daughter..you make her cry and your ass is mine!â And both packs busted out laughing!
Orion turned to her and spoke âDo you , Renata Reynolds, pledge and dedicate your heart and your life to defending, protecting, and loving DarkShadows Pack..and your alpha, Orion Demeter..against all enemies?â She replied âI pledge my loyalty and love without hesitation and with absolute dedication!â He held her left hand..palm up and sliced into it..doing the same with his..and clasped their hands together until she felt their blood combine..establishing her link with their people. Then he leaned forward..as his canines sank into her neckâ¦her palm pressed on his..they re-marked each other..as soon as their connections reestablished.. a light shot from the sky..illuminating the couple as an intense energy force entered the land.. And Abraham laughed..saying âwe can probably guess our secret is out and the whole world knows the BlackAlpha has found his fated mate!â The packs cheered and howled to the moon.
The pack went for a run and Renata flew to the waterfall..waiting for Heracles. She scented him before she saw him and knelt waiting for him to appear. His mark was glowing as brightly as hers..and she leaned over and kissed it gently⦠His fur lit up in flames and his eyes burned amber and orange. She giggled and said..âWell thatâs new! I wonder what else we will uncover. We really need that book!â
They raced back to the pack house and to their room. As he dropped her dress to the floor..and she stood before him in nothing but a thong..his breath caught and he said âyou are the most beautiful woman I have ever seenâ and tossing her on the bed ..he ripped her panties off and dove his face into her drenched pussyâ¦
He made love to her for hours until they fell asleep entangled in each otherâs arms. Renata slept the best sleep of her life..her face buried in his neck. Breathing the scent of him inâ¦all night.
